Post-Brexit: financial firms to move

Financial firms are in talks to discuss moving

their head offices from London to Amsterdam

following Britain's withdrawal from the

European Union.

It is unknown what the final affects of leaving

the EU on the UK's financial situation.

However, businesses must still brace

themselves. The outcome could be

overwhelmingly positive, but it is important to

ensure the relationships between UK and EU

businesses remain strong for the sake of trade

and commerce.

Trouble in Trump's financial nominees

OneWest is a bank which became notorious

for foreclosures, and the appointment of

Mnuchin and multibillionaire Wilbur Ross is a

far cry from the anti-establishment, anti-Wall

Street rhetoric Trump was so fervently

preaching on his campaign.

The Guardian have published a report on

Donald Trump's financial advisers. There is

controversy surrounding the potential

appointment of Steve Mnuchin as treasury

secretary.

Companies named and shamed for low

wagesThe British government has named and

shamed 360 businesses which have underpaid

their staff this year. These companies have

either shirked from paying employees the

National Minimum Wage or the Living Wage,

and have had to make amends with apologies

and payouts to employees who have missed

out.

You can read the BBC's full report on this

matter here.

Rise of the machinesWe were fascinated by this article published

on LinkedIn by Andrew Yang earlier this

month. Apparently, the rise of the machines is

already claiming jobs once performed by

humans.

With some jobs are already disappearing with

the emergence of new technologies, is your

job one of the ones at risk? Although we love

technology here at Axcess, we certainly hope

that machines don't take over. Machines may

be useful, but nothing can beat the human

brain in our opinion.
